Test T02 (updated)

gilroy0 — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:14:19 +0000

Test T02 is on Friday 2009 Mar 27.

Important Note:

It turns out there has not been any evaluation of the History of Astrophysics material that we covered in mid-February. Since you’ve been told that the test is on impacts and planet formation, the material will be restricted to those topics … there will not be any questions on the Greeks, Galileo, etc.
